DRAMATIC MOVE IN WAR SITUATION
NORTH CHINA TENSION
PEKING, MARCH 7.
THE DRAMATIC ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE TO-DAY THAT MARSHAL CHIANG KAI- SHEK IS NOW ON HIS WAY TO PEKING.
The Generalissimo arrived at Hankow at three o'clock yesterday afternoon from Nanchang and left almost immediately for Peking aboard a special train.
Important conferences have already been held between Marshal Chang Hsueh-liang and General Ho Ying-ching, the Minister of | War. The arrival of Chiang Kai-shek is thought likely to precipitate events.
An ominous situation appears to prevail at Tientsin, where it is reported that the Japanese consider that Nanking's Reply to the Japanese Consul's warning in regard to the Boxer Erotocol provisions is unsatis-
